Does the 20-100Nm version measure torque in both directions, clockwise and anti-clockwise?
Looking for something that can do BB and pedals.

You can pass an extension through the centre to tighten left-hand threaded cups with a clockwise motion. For pedals, it depends what tool interface you have - 8mm hex socket in the back and 15mm flats on the front means you just need a crow's foot to do the one which is right-hand threaded. If you only have flats, the crow's foot needs to be long enough for an extension to pass the crank from the back. If you only have hex sockets, then you actually need a torque wrench which works both ways 🙂🙃

I have this set, which overlap each other and go from 1Nm to 150Nm. You can tell from how grubby the labels are how much use each gets - mainly bicycle stuff and every now and then car stuff.
